Pricing Comparison
TraceKit
$29/month
Flat monthly
One price includes distributed tracing, live code monitoring, session replay, custom metrics, dashboards, and alerts.
Hidden costs: None. What you see is what you pay.
LogRocket
Free (1,000 sessions/month), Professional from $99/month (10,000 sessions)
Per-session tiered
LogRocket prices by recorded sessions. Free tier includes 1,000 sessions/month. Professional starts at $99/month.
Hidden costs: Per-session pricing scales with traffic. No backend monitoring included.
Pricing pain points with LogRocket
- Per-session pricing scales directly with user traffic
- No backend monitoring -- you need a separate APM tool
- Product analytics locked to higher tiers
Why teams switch to TraceKit
Backend Distributed Tracing
LogRocket is frontend-only. TraceKit traces requests from browser through backend services.
Live Code Monitoring
Set live breakpoints in production backend code. LogRocket cannot inspect server-side issues.
One Tool, Full Stack
Frontend and backend in one $29/month tool. LogRocket still needs a separate APM.
Common LogRocket pain points
Frontend Only
No backend visibility. You need a separate APM for full-stack debugging.
Per-Session Pricing Scales with Traffic
Every user session is counted. Traffic spikes mean bill spikes.
When LogRocket might be a better fit
- Your primary need is frontend product analytics with funnels and heatmaps
- Session replay quality is your top priority and backend tracing is not needed
- You are a product team focused on conversion optimization
